  1. ……..some people could criticize me for my poor English.

    Our lives are so hard. Is so good to have a good day in between just like I had today.

    Hi, I’m jazu. You may have remember me from subjects “My bike has been stolen today”, Giant American
    and Canadian modes”, and “Here it comes a metric system” (no the last one was from the Simpsons,
    heheh🙂. Well my last bike was stolen a week ago. I was going to buy a new one next year, but my
    good wife said to me: “We have only one life, buy it now” She said it about 20 min after I did buy
    her some jewelry on Shopping channel (heheh, nothing for free on this world) I went to LBS and I did
    buy 2003 Giant Yukon with extra Deore XT on rear, that was a part of my negotiations. I paid for the
    bike $390+tax. It is black with some red accents and silver RD looks so cool on it. Much nicer that
    original black Deore.

    You can laugh at me, but my first ride was to the place where my previous bike was stolen. I stop
    there, took my hat off and with minute of silence I gave respect to my lost bike.

    I know Yukon is not very top line bike, but I’m so thrilled to have it. I was riding today over
    three ours and I was happy like small puppy. It ride much more smooth that my other one.

    One for sure. I will never leave this bike unattended just like the last one.

    Thanks for reading🙂 Did you?

    Best to all.

    Is English your native language? If not, then the only people who have the right to critize would be
    people who speak YOUR language perfectly.

    That IS a good wife! Mine talked me into buying my bike rather than drooling over other peoples'
    rides too.

    If the bike makes you happy, its a good purchase. It doesn't matter if its top of the line. Most
    people's aren't.

    No, but I will criticize you if you don't go buy a beater bike to take to the mall/shops/store.

    Good advice that jesus. And when you leave your 'beater' bike unnatended at the mall organise to have 240 volts trickling through it so you can fry the thieving [censored]!!!

    Enjoy your Yukon Jazu! There is nothing wrong with that bike at all. You started off well with the
    upgrade of the deraileur, and I'm sure you will find that it is a good bike to upgrade. There are
    alot of good deals on the internet and magazine ads for good forks at lower prices, so you may want
    to consider that too. Alot of people commented on the Giant cranks and their suspect poor quality on
    some of their bikes; I left the Giant cranks on my Rainier and they never failed me once. They are
    indeed heavier, but strong as ever in my experience.

    Have a great time riding your new bike!

    That's what it's all about -- the sheer joy of riding =)
